One of the quietest teams in the NFL right now is the Seattle Seahawks.
The team has won each of first-year head coach Mike Macdonald’s first three games.
NFL legend and future Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end J.J. Watt recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show to give Macdonald and the Seahawks their flowers for a great start to the season.
“Macdonald’s got them playing extremely good. Geno’s obviously playing at a high level…All they’ve done is go out there and win three in a row,” Watt stated.

The San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Philadelphia Eagles were the top teams that were dominating a lot of the offseason conversation in terms of Super Bowl contention in the NFC.
The Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Dallas Cowboys were also teams to watch.
But not a lot of people were talking about the Seattle Seahawks.
After moving on from legendary head coach Pete Carroll this offseason, they brought in an unproven head coach in Macdonald.
Well, the Seahawks are unbeaten and are seemingly for real right now.
Along with the Minnesota Vikings, the Seahawks are the only other team in the NFC that has yet to suffer a defeat.
Quarterback Geno Smith has completed nearly 75% of his passes this year, and the Seattle defense is currently ranked second in total defense.
With a big game looming next Monday night on the road against the Detroit Lions, that could be a big indicator of where this team is after four games.
But as of right now, the Seahawks are one of the best teams in football.
